PackMate
♻️ Your smart and friendly CLI assistant for dependency updates and cleanup
---
Packmate is a modern CLI tool for managing, updating, and cleaning up your Node.js project dependencies.
It supports **npm**, **pnpm**, and **yarn**. With an intuitive interactive UI, Packmate helps you keep your project healthy and up-to-date—faster and safer than ever.
## 🤖 Why Packmate?
- Cleaner and more focused than most legacy dependency updaters.
- Safer: latest packages cannot be selected by mistake.
- Faster: only recommended version upgrades are suggested by default.
- Supports monorepos and modern workspaces (pnpm, yarn, npm).
## 🚀 Features
- **Detects outdated dependencies** and suggests updates with recommended (major/minor) versions.
- **Finds and removes unused packages** from your project.
- **Detects declared but not installed packages** and helps install them easily.
- **Protects up-to-date packages:** disables selection for already latest packages.
- **Smart version suggestions**: Only shows the latest version for each major release.
- **Modern CLI interface:** powered by [@clack/prompts](https://github.com/natemoo-re/clack).
- **Works with npm, pnpm, and yarn** – auto-detects your package manager.
## 💾 Installation
```sh
npm install -g packmate
# or
pnpm add -g packmate
# or
yarn global add packmate
```
You can also run it instantly with:
```sh
npx packmate
```
## 📝 Usage
From your project root, just run:
```sh
packmate
```
